Pollinators Process

Pollinators Process

This project consists of a 5-part interpretive signage system explaining the process of a bee making honey and a large placemaking playground structure. This would be installed along a walking path near the Standley Lake Nature Center and existing Pollinator's Garden to further activate the space and invite interaction and play.

  • This project allowed a lot of space for exploring new applications, I was able to learn to use Autodesk Maya to render the placemaking element.

  • This project also allowed me the opportunity to further develop my skills in SketchUp to create the interpretive signs.

  • This project’s ideation process was extensive. My final signs were more simplified than my sketches, allowing them to fit into the natural space better and appeal to a wider audience.

  • One of my challenges was in narrowing down my ideas into something that would fit with existing placemaking elements in a limited space.

What elements make up this brand?

  • The brand for this project was a simple one; I kept it to only a few colors and the brand mark is very descriptive of the project. The honey yellow provides a warm and welcoming feel to the entire system, and the honeycomb shape connects every element together, helping create a cohesive narrative throughout each piece of the installation.

  • The color palette for this brand uses a honey-yellow and a green to help signage remain visible without interrupting the natural space.

  • For this brand I used Montserrat SemiBold for the header type, and Oswald ExtraLight for the body copy.
